Default I just wanted to show off my powdercoated C5Z06s UPDATED with new pics!!!

The color is Anthracite metallic grey... I love the color.





Too bad the powdercoater did a shoddy job, such a ******. I specifically asked him to strip the chrome, because they are flaking/peeling off and he did exactly NOT that.

I'm going to call him come monday about this and let's see if he is going to make it right. I didn't see the whole wheels until I took them home and unwrapped them. SOB.

Update...

Called the powdercoater about the issue and well he didn't think it would be an issue about him not stripping the chrome so he didn't bother doing it even though part of agreement is to strip the chrome for a better quality. I should have him put them in writing when we had that agreement or put it in the receipt. It's he said, I said at this point so I'll have to eat it and lesson learned.

Anywho...

This was what my car looked like before...



I borrowed my friend's stockers...



To this... aftermath.

That sucks that he didn't strip the chrome off like you asked him too. Hopefully he makes it right.

Great color

I asked him if he could coat the plastic and he said no so I'll have to paint the center cap covers

Great color
I sure hope so. If not I'll go ahead mount the tires back on and put them on the car and have them PC'd in the states the proper way.
